Entertainer Nonhlanhla "Skolopad " Qwabe was rushed to hospital on Sunday after having a nervous breakdown from hypokalemia stress, caused from pressure that threatened both her entertainment career and work as a professional nurse.

“After the SAMAs‚ my bosses wanted to fire me at work. The matrons were happy to get rid of me at work‚” she said.

She said that she had met with the head of department at the hospital she worked at to try to resolve the concerns. She was told she could continue with her alter ego if she covered up‚ leading to her more conservative outfit at the Durban July. Despite this‚ she claimed to still be bullied and criticised by her co-workers.

Skolopad said she was treated for several hours in hospital after suffering from a racing heart and low blood pressure. Doctors told her that she had a type of stress and anxiety that led to low potassium levels in the blood.
